The screen on my MacBook Air is small. I am planning on hooking up my 27-inch monitor to the MacBook Air, which I think will help me with Reading Comprehension, and really every aspect of the test, having the larger screen size and larger font. I'm guessing this is not cut and dry as far as the rules, but I don't see anything in the rules that specifically prohibits using an external monitor to take the test. Any thoughts? It will be the MacBook Air, and the 27-inch monitor on my desk (along with the other materials).

Ok so, I just can't seem to get a grasp of the logic games. I have been told that the analytical reasoning section is the easiest to improve in; however, I beg to differ. Every-time I try a new problem on practice tests, I am always stuck on how am I suppose to set up the game. I am not sure if I get nervous because I know the games are my weakness which could be causing blockage, or what. But I do know that- I just don't understand them. It's hard to study and practice different games, when I don't have at least one type of game I am good at.

Ah spring... a time of rebirth and renewal and COPIOUS amounts of tree pollen in Va. Allergy symptoms are attacking and I’m not clear headed for tomorrow’s exam at all. Can I do a score preview or switch it to June or is it too late?!

I've seen powerscore discussions that say control F is still allowed but couldn't find it in the official rules.

Hi everyone,

I am seeking a tutor for RC. I would like a session once a week for 1.5 hours. If you are an RC tutor (or you know a good RC tutor) please message me for more details.

Thanks,

Nicole

I have my exam coming up in a few days and I thought if I practiced hard enough, the fact that it's over the computer might not be such an issue. However, I've noticed that my reading speed is significantly slower when I'm reading off a screen vs. when I'm reading off of paper. Does anyone have any tips on how to make reading off of a screen easier and/or any tips of improving my reading off of a screen? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

This should've been an easy question but I'm still a little confused. I narrowed it down to A and B super quickly, but am a little confused why A doesn't also resolve the paradox - if the animal plays dead when startled by a loud noise, doesn't this give another plausible explanation for their behavior despite the fact that it has no survival value? I see why B also resolves the paradox (because it gives them an opportunity to escape) but am confused on how I should have eliminated A

Can it be lined or must it be blank computer paper? Thanks!

Hi 7Sage,

I am proud to announce my free LR tutoring series!

You're probably asking, who the heck are you and what's with the this tutoring series ?. Let me preface this by saying I AM NOT AN EXPERT. However I recently scored a 168 on the January LSAT, and have been tutoring for a few months, and studying for over 18 months. I started at a 140 diagnostic, I went through Powerscore, The Loophole, The LSAT Trainer. Scrounged the internet for any advice I could find, spent hours on YouTube watching explanation videos only to end up watching "Funny Pet Videos". What I'm getting at is I had to fight my way to a 168. And throughout my journey, I developed a process that allowed me, and those I tutor to to tackle this blasted exam.

This is the main purpose for this series, the LSAT doesn't have to be as hard as it's made out to be, everyone learns differently so my goal is to bring a new perspective and clarity to anyone struggling to achieve their goal. Oh and did I mention it's free! Don't be shy, all skill ranges are welcome there is something for everyone in this series.

We will be following the schedule below, (This is a working list, topics may be added depending on various factors) if you have any questions don't hesitate to PM me.

All Sessions will be held at 7pm EST

2/25 - LSAT Language/ & Vocabulary

Hi guys, taking the April LSAT and I saw on the LSAC website a requirement stating something along the lines of 'no electronic devices (other than the computer for taking the test and the phone for check-in) are allowed in the room'. Unfortunately, my initial plan was to take the test in my office at work as it's one of the only quiet and undisturbed places I have access to, and while the space has very high cubicle walls and the computers can all easily be powered off and slightly moved around, some screens would still be visible if asked to do a sweep of the whole room. There's also a giant flat screen TV nailed to one of the walls (it's never on, but it definitely can't be moved).

I'm guessing LSAC wouldn't allow me to test in this space and I should change my plans?

Hey y'all--

I posted this under the Q-specific help vid, but the discussion forum here seems to get more attention sometimes, so double-posting. Promise to add helpful responses I get to my original discussion for our future LSAT progeny :3

Reference: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-89-section-2-question-24/

[P1] If MW↑ in Country X, the rate of UE will rapidly fall.

[P2] Should this happen, many P will have a lot more DI.

[P3] A lot of this excess DI will be spent on CG.

[CON] This rise in demand for CG will cause an ↑ in FJ to make these CG.

Initially, I didn't get why (C) was the non-weakening A/C, but it finally clicked that any ↑ in MW going on in X might actually be greater than the above-MW income some FW are getting. In another words, (C) is assuming that these (few? many?) FW who are getting "much" more than MW wouldn't also be benefitting from the uptick in MW in X.

Really just looking for some help in understanding whether (B) was also presuming something...

First, are we supposed to accept that the conclusion is referring to factory jobs only in Country X? The wording makes it sound more general--FJ across the board. That's how I took it. I get that preceding portions of the STIM are addressing what was happening specifically in X , but I don’t see where the conclusion limits itself to talking about the FJ situation in just X. Many arguments (in other questions) are wrong b/c of these types of sudden leaps (i.e., premises and conclusions talking about different, not necessarily overlapping sets), and I thought (B) was so blatantly ignoring that possibility. That’s why (B) sounded off to me at best, presumptive (without warrant) at worst–who’s to say that FJ won’t still increase overall, in line with the conclusion, regardless of where geographically these ↑ will be?

Would appreciate thoughts on this!

MBT Question:

All C and R are public places. Most well-designed public places feature art work.

Wrong Answer Choice: Most C that are well-designed feature art work.

I mistakenly thought that if all C and R are public places and most well-designed public places (which I believe a subset of public places) feature art work, then most C (which is a subset of public places) that are well-designed feature art work.

I diagrammed it to see why I was wrong, but still I am not 100% satisfied with my understanding on this question.

I understand that

Public Place WD --M--> Feature Artwork

C (which is a subset of public place) WD --M--> Feature Artwork

are not the same but still the wrong answer doesn't jump out to me as a horribly wrong answer choice.

Can someone share their thoughts on this question?

Thank you!

I cannot find anymore information about the lsat flex on lsac? My test is coming up on Sunday, April 11.

I am trying to see what is allowed on the test with me?

Can i have water? how many pieces of paper am I allowed to have??

Hey all,

Ive made some good progress studying for LR and mainly get the easy to medium questions all right. However, on a lot of my preptests (about 6+ of them) I always seem to mainly get the level 4 and 5 questions all wrong. Any advice on how to get better at really difficult questions? Should I just focus on drilling that difficulty only? It always seems like the support between the premise and the conclusion or the assumptions are way more convoluted. I've already read the Loophole FYI and it helped a lot, but those questions still get me. Thanks for any help I really appreciate it!

I do so awesome when I take the paper tests. I finish in time with 24/25 right. Enter the LawHub virtual tests and cue the 16/18 outta 27!!! Ugh !! My score overall is still decent because I’ve improved on the LG from fool proofing but good grief, I could have a 163-165 if my lame RC could transfer from paper to virtual. Thanks for listening to me rant... any tips to close this gap by April 10th?!?

Taking the June LSAT, I want to ensure that I get LG mastery on test day, or the closest thing to that. Timing wise I am fine, but I usually am getting 5 wrong per lg section and I am not weaker at any one type of game per se but make dumb mistakes along the way that cost me questions. How do I get complete accuracy until test day? Do a section per day? What else? Thank you in advance for any response.

I really struggle with identifying circular reasoning. The definition of circular reasoning is when the premise and conclusion are the same thing, and the author does not provide any other premises to support their conclusion. So, an example would be, "Dogs are the best pets ever. This is because dogs are the best." However, when given a more complex stimuli I really struggle. This particular stimulus gave me a hard time. I would appreciate if someone was able to explain why this particular stimulus is an example of circular reasoning.

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knew more the less the frequency of Hybrid Games in the Logic Games section of the LSAT??

So out of 4 Games, how many are likely to be Hybrid games? All of them, half of them, maybe one?

As I was practicing the PTs offered here in 7sage, I noticed that pretty much every single Logic Game in the more current exams are a Hybrid of sequencing, matching, and grouping and all of them were quite elaborate. None of them were exclusively sequencing, matching, or grouping. Is this how the LSAT will be? All Hybrid? If so it's fine I just would like to know if anyone has any insight or previous experience.

I just took the writing portion and during the room scan I realized that there were a few things that I needed to remove from the room. I removed those things and had to rescan a couple of times. Since I had to leave the room will this invalidate my writing? Will I be able to call and have it reset? I know the video is on the whole time even outside of the room scan and actual test...

Hey guys I'm really struggling with the logic on this one when diagramming. https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-21-section-3-question-06/

I think the majority of the confusion is coming from issues with my initial conditional chain and never having encountered wording like this before/how to make sense of it. I think I have an idea of what is going on but just wanted to see if I might be off since no one else in the comments seemed to be having the issue I'm having.

What I initially had up to the referential phrase of "if they do not" was:

IGA→ U or A

When I read the "if they do not" I thought it translated to /U or A and then became

/(U or A) → F

But since I already had U or A as a conditional I thought this would create two conditionals stemming from /(U or A):

/(U or A) → F

/(U or A)→ /IGA

What JY, and seems like everyone else did, was during the very beginning go like:

OR

#1 being the should be scenario and #2 being the less than ideal situation.

Since the stim goes on to give us Morton's book, and you can assume that Morton's book falls into the less than ideal situation, you don't even worry about using option #1. So what I'm wondering is when I see a stimulus like this where it uses prescriptive words like "should" "ought" etc. with a conditional then I need to think of it more like this problem where its scenario based over the usual "If, then" construction and then trying to link that statement with potentially more.

Hi all,

So, I am getting 80% of my answers correct on my first pass and the remainder correct during Blind review, but I seem to be doing so via intuition and not readily seeing the conclusion and premises. After watching the explanation videos I ask myself 'How didn't you see the structure?'. I think I'm getting too hung up looking for indicators that don't exist and then after being flustered I mix up sub conclusions for conclusions. Somehow my intuition saves me but I don't like that I don't see the structure. Any thoughts on how to improve? Thanks in advance.

Can anyone help me figure out what B is wrong? thank you!

Aren't the two logical equivalents? Mistaken Reversal is "confusing Necessary for Sufficient" while it's the other way around for Mistaken Negation. If the answer choice states "confusing Sufficient for Necessary" and the premise contains a mistaken reversal, is that still the correct choice? This has been bothering me a lot.

Hi Fellow 7sagers,

So I understand that while a few gifted few of us score within the 99-90th percentile-however it has come to my realization that at the very least the LSAT may as well be a gamble of an exam.

Case and point with the LSAT logic games section there is, and practically speaking so; a strategy of “skipping the Substitution question”- which at least seems to me to be a bit oddly peculiar when compared with other standardized exam formats. That is to say, after all there no other exam other than the LSAT has such a mechanic in place. Mind you I understand that as a future lawyer most of our work will consist of attention to detail, problem solving and lots of reading-however at least technically speaking the LSAT exam is at best a gamble-more particularly the Logic Games section. All this said, I am proud to announce that I have completely MASTERED the substitution question type granted my utilization of test prep materials such as Powerscore and 7sage-however I still find it to be a problematic case that the “skip this question due to time concerns” phenomena occurs-granted the livi tied time feature of the exam. Now bear with me I am intelligible enough to understand what rupees of arguments are bickering and at the very best complaining but I am convinced that I have hit a significant concern granted the evidence that most substitution questions warrant a person scoring in the high 80-90th percentile considering the performance curve. Therefore my question as a matter of this circumstance stands as-would anyone feel inclined to agreeing that the LSAT ought to seek a reformatting in the coming future? Perhaps an exam that consisted of just the Reading Comprehension Section and Logical Reasoning Section (2 major components of being a successful lawyer) would suffice as a legitimate test for law school admission. Any thoughts. Thanks.
